"Yeah! Not bad, let's have a plate of cold cucumbers for lunch, paired with vinegar and minced garlic, it's so delicious!"
Li Zexuan followed Han Yuxi to his greenhouse. What he saw was a lush green field, including cabbage, spinach, shepherd's purse, leeks, green onions, lentils, eggplants, and cucumber seedlings climbing on the pergola. So many of them were seen in the winter. Green, the whole person's mood immediately improves!
(Woad is cabbage; spinach was brought back by Zhang Qian on his mission to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty; lentils are native to India and were introduced during the Han and Jin Dynasties; eggplant is native to Southeast Asia and India and was introduced to China around the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty It is particularly fond of it and is even named "Kunlun Purple Melon")
Although the types of fruits and vegetables in the Tang Dynasty were not as many as those in modern times, they were definitely quite a lot!
Looking at the various vegetables in front of him, Li Zexuan felt very satisfied.
When I ate hot pot a few years ago, the vegetarian dishes in it were just bean sprouts, tofu and the like. Now that the vegetables in the greenhouse have matured, when I eat hot pot later, I can finally combine meat and vegetables very well!
"Yes! Mr. Xian!"
Han Yuxi nodded in agreement, and then went in to pick cucumbers.
Although it is cold in winter, it is inconvenient to eat cucumbers, but for the Li family who have heating, they can eat not only cucumbers, but also watermelons!
"Oh~! You can actually grow vegetables in winter! Xiaoxuan, your greenhouse is really amazing!"
After learning that some of the vegetables in the greenhouse at home were ripe, Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li and the three members of the Ye family rushed to see the strange things. After seeing the various vibrant vegetables in the greenhouse, Ye Guozhong said with shock.
For him, last year's trip to Chang'an was really not in vain. Not only did he resolve many years of misunderstandings with his daughter, but he also saw more new things than he had seen in the first half of his life, which made him sometimes have to I lament that times are changing so fast!
"Haha! My sweet grandson is very capable and can do things that others would never even dare to think of!"
Mrs. Ye looked at Li Zexuan with pride and praised.
Ye Fashan personally went up and took a look at the vegetables in the ground, pursed his lips and said nothing. This old-fashioned little kid still felt that Li Zexuan violated the natural law of spring planting and autumn harvest.
At noon, hot pot was set up again in the other courtyard. Lan'er, who used to have a special liking for mutton rolls, today only eats watercress, spinach, and shepherd's purse, especially watercress (cabbage), which is tender and tender. Blanch the leaves in the hot pot for a while, then put them into the dipping sauce bowl for dipping, and chew them in your mouth. They are crispy and juicy, which just "neutralizes" the salty taste of the sauce. Finally, The sweetness of the cabbage juice is still lingering at the base of the tongue, which is simply an endless aftertaste!
"Hmm! Brother! This cabbage is so delicious! Why has Lan'er never eaten such delicious cabbage before?"
The dignified "little rich woman" Lan'er can eat Chinese cabbage so deliciously. It's not because the world has changed too fast, but because there was no vegetables in the winter of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Zexuan smiled fondly and said, "Haha! If it's delicious, eat more of it! Those cabbages in the greenhouse in our backyard belong to you!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lan'er smiled sweetly and poured another chopstick of cabbage leaves into the hot pot with great satisfaction!
"Sir, how do these spinach and spinach taste?"
Mrs. Li suddenly spoke at this time. She looked at Li Jingmo who was also busy cooking the cabbage and smiled meaningfully.
"Hmm! Fragrant! Really fragrant! It's both fragrant and sweet! This cabbage feels much more delicious than the cabbage in late autumn! And this cucumber is crisp and refreshing, it's really top quality! I didn't expect that in the severe winter, It’s really nice to be able to eat cucumbers…”
Li Jingmo, who was having a very "happy" meal, did not notice at all that Mrs. Li's smile had some inexplicable meaning. He sighed a lot, but was interrupted by Mrs. Li mercilessly:
"If I remember correctly, Xuan'er wanted to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables. Someone once said that if vegetables could be grown in the greenhouse in winter, he would not eat even one of them even if he starved to death~!"
"Well……"
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Everyone stopped using their chopsticks and looked at Li Jingmo with burning eyes. Obviously, everyone remembered who said these words in the first place...
"Ahem! Eat quickly! Eat quickly! Today's food is so delicious, don't let it get cold and be wasted!"
Li Jingmo's face was red, and he glared at his wife without any trace, but Mrs. Li stared back mercilessly, and quietly stepped on her. After all, Mrs. Li has the support of her son and her mother-in-law, how can she be afraid of him?
"Dad, what we are eating is hot pot. As long as the stove is on, the food will not get cold!"
Lan'er raised her head and corrected Li Jingmo's mistake seriously.
Father Li almost vomited blood, he couldn't stay in this family anymore! His wife mocked him, and even his daughter targeted him...
"Lan'er, eat quickly and don't talk! Dad, please eat quickly too! It was just a joke at the beginning!"
At the critical moment, Li Zexuan couldn't bear the embarrassment in front of his father and spoke out to save him.
Li Jingmo burst into tears in his heart, it was his son who was kind to him!
………………………
"Haha~! Come on, come on! One for each person! Let's have a try!"
In the afternoon, Li Zexuan took Ah Fu and a basket of freshly picked cucumbers to the conference room in Guanghua Building of the Academy. The conference room was already full. Li Zexuan smiled cheerfully and gave instructions to Ah Fu.
Now that Sanbao has gone to Bashu to look for minerals, Afu has naturally been promoted to Li Zexuan's number one "legger"!
"Cucumber! Chief Shan, where did this cucumber come from?"
Yan Silu's eyes almost popped out. He stood up suddenly and said in surprise.
"Could it be from the palace? That's too precious! Chief, you'd better take it back!"
Li Gang was well-informed and knew that the palace could get fresh cucumbers from the Wen Tang Supervisor in winter, so he said this.
After hearing this, the gentlemen in the conference room declined and said, "Yes! Chief! This cucumber is too precious, you should take it back!"
"Yes, yes! This is so precious!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Haha! Gentlemen, there is no need to refuse! These cucumbers are grown by my family, not by Wentang Supervisor! They are not expensive! One for each person, we will have a meeting after eating!"
Grow it yourself! !
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room was in an uproar. How could it be possible to grow cucumbers in the middle of winter?
Yan Silu looked suspicious and said: "... Chief, are you kidding me? Although I heard that there is a hot spring inside your courtyard, you can't grow so many cucumbers, right?"
"Haha! Mr. Yan, who said you can only grow vegetables next to hot springs in winter? From now on, everyone here will be the inheritors of engineering studies. We engineering students are good at doing such seemingly impossible things!"
